Chapter 2 You laugh and I cry
In this world, cultivation can be divided into immortal and martial arts.
Immortal cultivators can soar through the clouds and fog when they reach the peak, shrink thousands of miles in one step, call for wind and rain, and take the sun, moon and stars for their own use.
Martial arts cultivators cultivate to the extreme, but they can also turn over rivers and seas, and their strength is inexhaustible, and they open the gate of heaven with their physical bodies.
Regardless of cultivating immortals and practicing martial arts, all the laws in the world are diverted, but the destinations are all the same, and they all ask for immortality.
The head of the Su family in this Fubi City, Su Xinglong, is the best of the martial arts masters in the east, when he was young, he worshiped under the door of the third Yuan Nine Elephants in the world, followed the master to enter the martial arts with the sword intention, and at the age of twenty-two, he got the Yuan Nine Elephants to give the knife down the mountain, and then fought all over the east and west of the young generation without a defeat, with the nine elephant knife in his hand that the Yuan Nine Elephants relied on to become famous, he was called the Dragon Elephant Knife King Su Xinglong by the good deeds of the rivers and lakes. What's more, the young monk Gu Yu who had an epiphany at the age of ten in the Guanyun Temple in the north was compared with it, jokingly called: East Dragon Elephant, North Gu Yu, a pair in the sky, unparalleled on land.
At night, it is the time when the night market in Fubi City is bustling and noisy, and the streets are lined with all kinds of street vendors, brightly lit, and the dark scene outside the city walls is clearly distinguished.
Bai Nianyi's eyes were red from the bright lights everywhere, and he walked in front expressionlessly, without saying a word. Until he came to the fork of an alley, an old man's soft voice came from behind: "That's it, this alley is the Su family." The old man pulled the thin donkey to Bai Nianyi's side and patted the young man's shoulder: "Let's go." "After that, you should go to this dim alley first.
Bai Nianyi stood at the entrance of the alley and looked into the dark depths, only to feel that this alley looked like an unknown monster, with its mouth open, just waiting for him to go in and then bite down and devour him.
The old man took a man and a donkey to stop under a copper ring gate with a plaque on the door of Sufu, and stepped forward to gently buckle the copper ring. A short time later, a middle-aged man carrying a lantern opened the door. While he raised the lantern and looked at the old and the young, Bai Nianyi also saw the appearance of the middle-aged man clearly. A long scar on the left side of his face is particularly eye-catching, extending from the corner of his left eye to the left corner of his mouth, dressed in a simple white robe, and tied in a delicate bun on the top of his head.
The man looked at the old man and then at Bai Nianyi, and only after a while did he ask tentatively, "But Bai Senior?"
The old man nodded, pointed to the scar on the man's face, and said, "You are the eldest brother of Xinglong, wake up the river, you were the one who was cut by me back then." As soon as Bai Nian heard that the scar on the man's face was actually caused by the old man, although doubts arose in his heart, he was depressed at the moment, so he suppressed it and stood aside silently.
Su Xinghe opened the door and said with a smile: "When I was young, I was stubborn and ignorant, and I had to learn a lesson from my predecessors to pick up a life." Senior Bai came in quickly, and as soon as the two of them fell asleep, I will go and call him. This young man is a senior disciple of the old Bai?" Su Xinghe waited for the two of them and a donkey to enter the door, closed it again, and patted Bai Nian's head with a smile: "The young man is very energetic. ”
The old man smiled, "Sort of." ”
Su Xinghe led the two to the front of the living room, and stretched out his hand to take the reins from the old man's hand: "Senior go to the hall to sit for a while, and I will go to wake up the dragon, and by the way, make a cup of tea for the two of you to quench your thirst." ”
The old man waved his hand: "Remember to give me some good forage for this donkey, and it will sell a lot of strength along the way." After speaking, he led Bai Nianyi into the living room, found a chair and sat down.
Bai Nianyi sat on the chair, watching the old man hang his head and twist tobacco leaves into his dark pipe, remembering the awakening river just now, he immediately ran to the old man's side and scolded in a low voice: "You made the scar on that person's face? You are an old immortal, you ruined the face of the master's eldest brother, and you dare to put me here with confidence? Bai Nianyi's face was sad and angry, he hoped that the old immortal could realize the seriousness of the matter, and it was best to go home immediately, it would be better.
The old man lit a cigarette on the candle on the table, took a slow puff, and then opened his mouth to puff out a puff of smoke at Bai Nianyi. Caught off guard, Bai Nianyi choked on the pungent smoke and coughed twice, he shook off the smoke, snorted twice at the old man, turned his head angrily and sat down.
"Su Xinghe, this kid was deceived by a demon in Dali Mountain, and went astray to practice an evil sect technique to seize the essence of the living, and slaughtered innocent people for hundreds of miles all the way under the disorientation," the old man crossed his legs, found a comfortable position to sit on the chair, and continued: "At that time, I happened to bump into him who killed him with red eyes, and I intercepted him. Originally, I wanted to split this kid with a sword, but his younger brother Su Xinglong threw the broken copper and iron knife of Yuan Jiuxiang in front of me from thousands of miles away, and there was a human head hanging on the hilt, and then I heard this kid pass over: The foolish brother was deceived by the demon Dao, and the younger generation has cut off the head of the demon Dao, and I hope that the seniors will show mercy. ”
Speaking of this, the old man laughed teasingly, "Twenty years ago, the hairy boy who was just in his early twenties was able to transmit the sound of flying knives thousands of miles away, and he was really a capable descendant, Yuan Jiuxiang taught a good apprentice." After saying that, he took another puff of his pipe and looked out the door.
"What happened later?" Bai Nianyi couldn't help but ask.
"Later, later, I sold Su Xing Long's favor, and the sword that was supposed to split Su Xing He's head only left a small scar on his face, and then broke his sea of qi and cut off his evil cultivation. ”
At this time, there was a hearty laughter outside the door, and I saw Su Xinghe walking first with tea, and then the owner of the laughter, a handsome middle-aged man who was quite similar to Su Xinghe, and a beautiful woman followed the footsteps of Su Xinghe and walked in. After Su Xinghe handed the tea water to the old man and Bai Nianyi, he stood sideways.
"The predecessors of the white flute, I haven't seen them for more than ten years, and the seniors are old and strong, and their demeanor has not diminished back then. Su Xinglong clasped his fists and saluted respectfully to the old man, and then pointed to the woman next to him: "The seniors should remember the insider Chen Bangfang." The woman next to her also bent down and bowed: "I've seen the old-timers." ”
Bai Nian on the side rolled his eyes: Why do you pat yourself on the back as soon as you come, this old man who is lying on his back is not dead, what is old, what is strong. But only then did he know that the old man's full name was Bai Di.
Bai Di smiled and waved his hand: "Let's all sit, don't have so many courtesies." ”
Bai Nianyi looked at the old man with the appearance of a master, and was amused in his heart, and couldn't help but think to himself: The old man ruined the appearance and cultivation of the boss of the Su family, but this family still respected him very much, could it be that he was really a big man? But if he is really a big man, why can't he even afford a few catties of good meat, and Aunt Zhang's family has to pay credit from time to time.
"The time has come. After the three of them sat down, Bai Di also put down the teacup and said: "I came this time, one is to get the little flute, and the other is to come." Bai Di looked at Bai Nianyi, and then solemnly said to Su Xinglong: "Second, I want to hand over the doll I picked up to you, his name is Bai Nianyi, the doll I picked up in the Broken Dao Temple twelve years ago, you should treat him as twelve years old this year." I hope you will treat him well after I'm gone. ”
After speaking, Bai Di got up and bowed to the three of the Awakening Dragon.
The three of them hurriedly got up and held the white flute, and Su Xinglong said: "Senior, what are you doing here?" Don't worry, we must treat Nian Yi as our own, it just so happens that I have a girl in my family, so I will let Nian Yi accompany Qiao'er brothers and sisters in the future." ”
After Su Xinglong helped Bai Di to sit down, he turned his head to Chen Bangfang and said, "Bangfang, call Qiao'er and let her meet her brother Nianyi." ”
"I'll go. ”
"The fifteen-year appointment between the predecessors and the world's first crazy sword immortal, the world knows everything, time flies so fast, and fifteen years have passed in a blink of an eye. "The Awakening Dragon is a strong man, but he is still 108,000 miles behind the Crazy Sword Immortal and the White Flute. There was a look of anticipation in his eyes, the decisive battle of such a strong man is rare in his life, and now he has achieved great results, if he relies on the two of them to find the way to clear his heart, it will also be a big opportunity. But he also knows that the duel between such strong men is also destined to have no chance for both sides to retreat. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sigh helplessly.
Bai Nian looked at the old man, but the old man was also looking at him. The boy finally couldn't help but slam his fist on the table. This punch shook the teacup over, and then rolled to the ground, and with a bang, the teacup was scattered all over the ground.
"Are you explaining what happened?" Bai Nian listened to the old man entrust him to the Su family, and the decisive tone between the lines made his chest almost burst dullly. "In the past twelve years, I have cooked for you and bought wine, I will fan you on hot days, and I will give you an old immortal blanket and quilt when it is cold, what are you doing now? Do you want to run away for some kind of bullshit agreement?" Bai Nianyi trembled with excitement, and the green tendons on the back of his hands clenched into fists burst out, and after speaking, he kicked up the fragments of the tea cup at his feet, and flew straight to Bai Di's forehead.
The white flute did not dodge or dodge, and the fragment hit his eyebrows, cutting a hole, and then the blood rolled down the bridge of his nose so wantonly.
Su Xinglong and the Su Xinghe brothers glanced at each other, and they both sighed silently. How could this piece of broken piece cut through Bai Di's forehead, and the old-timers were also very sad and reluctant at the moment.
Bai Nianyi looked at the blood dripping from the tip of the old man's nose, his heart softened, and he opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't say anything after all.
The white flute wiped the blood from his face, buried his head in fiddling with the pipe, groped left and right but couldn't find a single tobacco leaf, and felt uncomfortable sitting all over, and finally stood up and walked to the door and sat down on the threshold.
"In the future, you can live well in this Su family. ”
Bai Nian couldn't hold back again and again, and finally sat on the ground and cried.
Outside the door, a sleepy-eyed little girl held Chen Bangfang, looked at Bai Nianyi who was crying in surprise, and then giggled.
In the darkness of the night, the boy's cry mingled with the girl's laughter, causing several adults to look at each other.
